Happy Birthday Jordan and Welcome to the Family

Today is Jordan's 23rd birthday....and we are excited to be sharing this birthday with him as he will soon be the newest member of our family. In the relatively short time we have known Jordan we have all grown to love him....Brittany is lucky to have him as her eternal companion. I love how responsible Jordan is, he always steps in and makes sure things are taken care of. It's a nice feeling to know that your daughter is going to be well taken care of....I've almost stopped worrying about Britt....but not quite...does a mother ever stop worrying??? I love how Jordan is always smiling and willing to help... he's always one of the first ones up from the table taking dishes to the sink. I love how happy he makes Brittany and how her face lights up when she sees him. I love how he is so strong in the gospel. Jordan is an awesome guy and we are blessed that Brittany found him. Happy Birthday Jordan...We Love You.




I think Brookie is as excited as Brittany that Jordan will soon be marrying into the family! It's fun to watch how excited they are when he's over to play and plays with them.

Happy Birthday Grannybird

Today is Grannybird's 85th Birthday.....and what an amazing 85 years she has had! I am so grateful to be able to call her mother. She has and always will be an example to me of the epitome of the perfect woman. I marvel daily at all she does for everyone. She never misses a family birthday....blessing.....or baptism. She knows everyones anniversary, and celebrates any good thing that happens to anyone. The sayings she lives by echo daily in my mind....if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all....I always thought that was a Grannybird original until I closely watched Bambi with my grandchildren and found out Thumpers dad started it. We keep on telling Grannybird that now that she's 85 she can slow down and not do so much for others but I know she will just keep going, what an inspiration she is to us all. Mom, you truly are the best and I love you!

Happy Birthday Lloydie

Today is Lloyd's 59th Birthday....and when he thinks that next year he'll be 60, 59 isn't sounding so bad!!! Lloyd and I dated in high school, so all things considered we've been together a really long time. Through the years I think we have grown to greatly compliment each other. I keep him positive and trying to always look for the best and he keeps me grounded and moving in the right direction. I love him to pieces and don't know what I would ever do without him. I love how he quietly stays involved with doing so many amazing things for other people... no one can imagine how busy he stays! I love how he thinks it's so cute to do anonymous things for others. I love how I know that I can always count on him and I know that he will always be there for me. I love his dedication to the church and his love for the gospel. I love how his family is the most important thing to him....(although I don't always love his teasing which he thinks is so fun!) Happy Birthday Hon......and here's to eternity.....I love you for always!
